Jami` at-Tirmidhi - Book 49, Hadith 146 View on sunnah.com →
Narrated Abu Salamah: from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: "Indeed your affair [feminine plural: referring to the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ)] is from that which concerns me after me, and none shall be able to be patient concerning you except the patient ones." He said: "Then 'Aishah said: 'So may Allah give your father drink from the Salsabil of Paradise" intending 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf (Abu Salamah is the son of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf). And he had maintained ties with the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) with property that had been sold for forty-thousand.

How the Prophet ص modelled this behaviour here

Patience & Forbearance

“none shall be able to be patient concerning you except the patient ones”

Bears his wife's faults, mistakes and difficult moments with patience over time; is slow to anger and endures hardship in the marriage gracefully.
